That's not an ak47. It's an ak-74
Still that's some impressive assembly/disassembly for teenagers. I don't understand why the video would cause shock though....

It caused shock in a country where half the citizens have never held a firearm, let alone have any understanding of them.
The children can't read the handwriting of their parents (cursive) and are taught to be confused about their own gender.
The "adults" having children now were raised on fear of the unfamiliar (D.A.R.E.) and at the same time grew up as home computers and internet were coming into the mainstream. They never learned useful skills, and in the past ten years have been taught how to be offended by every single thing that doesn't match their liveview- Some of their earliest memories that have anything to do with war, politics, or other countries would be from 9/11... and the massive "get in line" movement that followed.
They're shocked because they don't understand.

Does Russia still give one soldier a gun, and the guy behind him the spare clip?

I'm guessing they've got enough guns to go around for their active duty military. The last time there was a real war effort they really just didn't have the resources to go around- but cold war era stockpiling has likely lead to surplus of equipment.
